By this you may know that God dwells in you, that you are shamefully aware of your sinful nature and mortified by it, so you bring it to your Loving Lord to be cleansed of it every time the Holy Spirit reveals to you a falling short.

Sometimes it takes me awhile, but I think I understand what you are saying. I was focusing too much on Romans 7 and not enough on the beginning of Romans 8.

If we are in God and covered by the blood of Christ, we are mortified by our sin and almost immediately bring it to our Lord, saying we are sorry and asking His forgiveness. And our loving Lord says, come to me, and I will give you rest, and he cleanses us.

Or something like that.

Peace,
Rich
